Twitter sez to Shaq "Who cares!!!!"

markoakesJun. 1, 11 2:27 PM

I thought he retired a long time ago. It has been a long time since he was any kind of impact player so who cares.

Oops Sorry, fingers moving too fast. Maybe its time for me to retire also. I meant to say I though Shaq was already retired also.

One of the most over-rated players in the history of sports. If he was average size/height, he wouldn't make a high school team, only pure size and brute force, no real basketball ability in his body. Take away the dunk and he sucks. How could this guy not dominate the boards, 20 per game should have been his average.

I care, I think he's cool, I wouldn't mind meeting him. Seems like a fun guy, very creative personality. He was pretty good in his prime.

The Celtics have said they are not aware of this yet. Please make up your mind Shaq. Sincerely, Brett Favre.

I was going to comment, but Easyed said it all. He's going to be in the hall of fame and he can't hit a shot from outside three feet. No comment on his personality or anything outside of basketball as he seems like a decent guy. Call me a hater, but when measured against big men like George Mikan, there is no comparison.

its a toss-up between Kazaam and Freddie Got Fingered for my favorite Shaq contribution of all time.

3 years too late.

Maybe with Shaq and 'Zo retired we can finally forget about getting stuck with Christian Laettner with the #3 pick.
